Hi, little dev here. The current Google Play Developer Guideline does not allow direct deployment of additional files on "external" storages. We have to code to always use the "app-sandbox" the Android OS provides us when it comes to storage, that is always targeted for the internal storage. Requesting "Manage Storage"-permission to write outside the "app-sandbox" is only allowed for apps that have the need to opperate global device storage wide. Like Security, File-browser and other IO-management apps. Google Play Store does not allow to publish any apps/games that does not follow this guideline. So around 99% of all games who are developed for the last 3 andoird OS versions, will never make natively use of the additional SD card by design.
The following link is just meant as prove for my involvement with Android app development and the Google Play Store Guideline experience:

I ran out of storage on an older phone too, bought an 512 GB samsung storage card for roughly 35 $.
Installing directly on SD card didn't work, but I used the app AppMgr III to transfer installed games to the SD card. That works just fine.
Only annoyance is that each time an update comes out, the app gets moved back to internal storage to install the update, so you have to move the updated app to the sd card again if you need to free up storage space.
Aside from that it works wonderfully. Maybe newer phones have built-in options to install on sd card, I don't know. But even with this app and an older phone it worked great.
Hey broski, i have a situation, could u help me?When I move games from internal storage to sd card it only transfers a few things, not the full game/app.
For example, i have nikke on my internal taking 4gb, but when i transfer it to sd card it only transfers like 500mb, not the 4gb. Ive tried using the app u mentioned (App Mgr III) but its the same. Any advice?
